St Kilda vs. Gold Coast Predictions

Ended

We have St Kilda vs. Gold Coast predictions for AFL Round 24 on Thursday, August 20 at 7:30pm at Marvel Stadium.

Both teams are playing for pride this week, with St Kilda’s wild card dreams dashed last week.

Best Bet

St Kilda -10.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

We are surprised by the -10.5 line for St Kilda, who were impressive winners over Richmond last week, which at the time, kept their playoff chances alive.

They scored a 94-45 victory over the Tigers, which was an excellent bounce back win after dropping consecutive games, and they deserve to be favourites against a Gold Coast team coming off 11 losses in their last 12 games.

The SUNS haven’t played well throughout the year, and although they broke their losing streak with a win over GWS in Round 22, they didn’t show much against the Lions when losing 95-53 last week. Those losses make them a tough team to bet on, so we’re going with St Kilda.

We priced them at around -17.5, so snap up the opening line.

Same Game Multi

St Kilda -10.5, Mitch Owens 2+ Goals, Cooper Sharman 2+ Goals, Total Points Under 179.5 @ $9.75

Bet Now

Mitch Owens has come alive over the last two games, including five goals last week. It was a much-needed shot in the arm for the Saints, and his goal-kicking form should continue this week. We’re including him in AFL SGM picks at $1.84.

Cooper Sharman hasn’t been the most consistent player, but he kicked two goals last week, and punters get $2 for him to kick 2+ goals against Gold Coast. That’s a good price, which boosts multi bet payouts.

They combined for 149 points in their latest meeting, and the under has cashed in their last four meetings, so include under 179.5 points in multis.

Best Value Bet

Darcy Wilson 25+ Disposals @ $3.12

Bet Now

Darcy Wilson could have a big game for the Saints. He has three 25+ disposal games in his last five matches, and with nothing on the line in this game, he could measure up.

His recent disposal totals are 29, 28, 16, 25, and 15, and although he had only 15 last week, a bounce back effort is likely.

Punters get $3.12 for 25+ disposals, so the odds are too good to turn down.
